The customer

Founded in 1976, it employs over 400 people and has an annual turnover in excess of $75m. With retail showrooms (N plus and N Gold) and projects division (Al Nasser Pro) selling own brands SIDRA and NOORTEK professional lighting solutions it has worked on numerous high profile building projects across the region. The company is headquartered in Riyadh and has over 20 showrooms and offices around the country.

The challenge

Al Nasser was running its business on an outdated ERP platform that struggled to produce reports and dashboards in a timely fashion and could not support the company’s plans for strategic growth.

The solution

In 2013, Al Nasser decided to implement SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA and at the time was the first customer for this specific solution in Saudi Arabia. There was little local experience in the implementation of the application and the specific infrastructure. Fujitsu supported Al Nasser in this innovative project and demonstrated that FUJITSU Integrated System PRIMEFLEX for SAP HANA would be the perfect fit for the company.

The benefit

Report generation has reduced from weeks to hours, making the company more responsive and enabling more proactive, predictable and real-time decisions
